You get tokens for each vendor - tokens for each planet, vanguard tokens for strikes, crucible tokens, gunsmith parts for dismantling rare+ items. You then hand these tokens in to the relevant vendor and when you max the bar you get some items based on your current level. You can also hand in the planetary materials to fill the bar.

You can hand in 10 tokens at a time which gives a boost to how much the bar fills compared to 1 at a time.

Each planet has an NPC vendor and by doing patrols, public events, challenges, opening chests and lost sectors you get tokens to fill up the XP bar and when that's full you get a legendary engram.

When you do strikes you get tokens to give to Zavala and meditation missions (three repayable story missions that reset weekly) give you tokens to give to Ikora. The Gunsmith accepts gunsmith parts to level his bar up.
